The Fumidor

The Fumidor

The Fumidor tells a cautionary tale of misplaced morality, hypocrisy, the dangers of excess and the search for love. The terrifying legend of a murderer convinces a small town that they should become radically sin-free. When a stranger comes to town, bringing irresistible temptations with him, the facade of the pure and chaste inhabitants begins to crumble, revealing a painfully dark secret.

Blue Inc. Theatre presented the first version of this play in 2003 at the New York and Philadelphia Fringe Festivals. It had been largely devised by the cast and named The Tale of Rancor. It was later rewritten and produced by Pants on Fire as OINK!, as a co-production with the Arena Festival, Erlangen Germany, June-July 2007 with support from Stage One New Producers Bursary.

It opened at the Barn Theatre Rose Bruford College, then transferred to IYAF Kingston and played for 27 performances at the Warehouse Theatre in Croydon.
